Chanderi is a traditional ethnic fabric characterized by its lightweight, sheer texture and fine luxurious feel. Chanderi fabric is produced by weaving in silk and golden Zari in the traditional cotton yarn that results in the creation of the shimmering texture. The fabric borrowed its name from the small town Chanderi in Madhya Pradesh where traditional weavers practice the art of producing textured sarees in cotton and silk decorated with fine zari work.
These chanderi sarees are produced from three kinds of fabric i.e. pure silk, chanderi cotton and silk cotton. Traditional coin, Flora art, Peacocks and geometrics are woven into different chanderi patterns. The sarees are among the finest sarees in India and are known for their gold and silver brocade or zari, fine silk and opulent embroidery.
The weaving culture or tradition has been available from the 13th century. In the beginning, the weavers were Muslims, later in 1350 the Koshti weavers from Jhansi migrated to Chanderi and settled there. During the Mughal period, the cloth business of Chanderi moved to its peak.
Chanderi is a renowned centre for traditional weavers of sarees. The Chanderi sarees have unmatched sophistication and are popular among the Indian upper middle class saree wearers. The chanderi saree, woven of silk and cotton is a fairly recent product of the area and began being produced only in the second half of the twentieth century.
